Ok. I'll probably admit it. Even though I'm giving you talent ideas, they probably are already on here. But if so don't ignore this. This in my opinion is probably the best protection tanking talent tree. So here it is:

. It may not be perfect, but imo it seems pretty good for me. Please leave comments for me please. I could maybe use some helpful tips on this. :D
Sorry I didn't really know... so here it is:
Is that better?

Ok.. first of all. How to use the wowhead talent tree:
After you finish putting in all the points and getting it all finished, you should click 'Link to this build' which is in the upper left above the left side tree. Then you can copy the link in the url and post it here.

Linking to an actual talent tree would be good.
Losing the word "best" when referring to a talent build would also help. There is no such thing.

Best? no
Can you use it? It's got enough of the main tanking talents to be usable, but it can do with improvement.
The thing about tanking builds is that there is no #1 best or cookie cutter build. Your best bet is to follow these guidelines:
- Strength, Anticipation, Toughness, Imp RF, BoSanc are required
- Put 6 points in tiers 1-4 that best fit what you require situationally
- Everything from tier 6 down to tier 11 in the prot tree is required
- Deflection is required
- 1/2 Imp Judgements is required if you plan to do the 6969 rotation
- 9 points left for wherever you want
Edit: mispellings

Here's the
Cookie Cutter Build
i'd recommend you to use for Heroics and 10-man. In 25-man youcould change soe points like BoK and Improved Devotion Aura depending on your group.
Yeah that is the spec that I throw around a lot, you can swap just like he said.
On a further note, extra crit really won't help tankadins too much, won't gain much threat from it and a lower Judgement CD is more DPS (edit: AND TPS) in the end.

To specifically address the build:
Seals of the Pure is a slightly better threat talent than Conviction, though neither is exactly a bargain.
1/2 Improved Judgements is a mandatory talent point (and 2/2 is viable), as it allows you to maximize your threat rotation.
Benediction is a waste of five talent points for a Prot Paladin. If you're going OOM while tanking, you're doing something wrong.
Judgements of the Just is considered mandatory for a tanking build. 20% attack speed reduction is a significant reduction to incoming damage.
